Ebay

[fairkatrina]

What is the most lucrative thing to sell on Ebay, once purchase price, ebay and paypal fees and postage are considered?

Good question, but who can say? Surely something is only worth what others are prepared to pay for it? I would say some "collectable" items, like old comics or toys are lucrative. Pippa dolls especially can go for �100+ if in good condition. Retro stuff. But things usually go high ONLY if there are 2 people bidding against each other, which pushes the price up.

The $1,000,000 question! I have sold a few things on e-bay. Some didn't sell at all, some sold for 99p and then I've had things which have sold really well. I sold a board game based on rugby for �25 during the rugby world cup, a tourist guide book for Guernsey (pre WWII) went for �46 (I'd paid 50p for it!) and what I thought was an unremarkable postcard of a town in Cornwall sold for �13!

I would say something you can reproduce without needing help from others. i.e a skill for woodcraft, selling name plates, birdhouses and the like, however e-books tend to sell ok if the price is right.

I had a clear out a few years ago and sold all my old clothes, golf clubs and daft stuff i didnt want and i made �850 just from old rubbish, but what is one mans rubbish is another mans treasure.
